Mrs. Pinkney employs the blues to drive her splendid book. Like a powerful car, the author's text is in constant motion as it speeds forward trying to demolish the Jim Crow (segregation) laws of the South that said "Black people and white people could not mix." The author cleverly personifies Jim Crow as a bird with "bony wings" who did nothing but "peck peck peck." Mr. Pinkney^ dark, whirling, swirling illustrations bring his wife's superb text to life. Dr. [Nikki Giovanni] incorporates some of these spiritual songs (songs of the spirit) into her discourse as she guides'us through a brief history of slavery to the post-Civil War era, bringing it into the present represented by hip-hop music. The additional bonus of this enlightening book are the lyrics of the spiritual songs found at t...

We never used to have all this profanity in our music," [Kenneth Gamble] said after he'd finished afternoon prayers outside the mosque he founded near his home. Walking through the neighborhood around 15th and Catherine streets, looking over the Universal Institute Charter School he founded as part of his nonprofit Universal Companies community development effort, Gamble lamented the sexually explicit lyrics, violent imagery and harsh use of the "N-word" in modern entertainment. Much of it he blamed on the government. "The Black man put that stuff into the music," he said. "Now everybody in the world is trying to follow that (gangster) lifestyle. The Black man calls the tune-when we say 'dance,' everybody dances. We set the tone for so much of the culture. And we have to clean it up. ...
Grammy award winner Alicia Keys has followed her critically acclaimed, "As I Am" album with an extravagant follow up "The Element of Freedom." The album opens with a hypnotizing yet eerie beat that will easily stick to the minds of listeners as Keys gives her testimony through a song setting an unpredictable tone while simultaneously defining the song title "Love is Blind." If that isn't touching "Try sleeping with a broken heart" will have definitely dear one's consciousness on what it means to be in love, lose it and feel like the world before you is tore apart. Keys is talented because, like most artist, we don't know how sincere the lyrics are, but we do know she has a way of delivering them that makes us feel like she's been there and knows exactly how we feel. Never one to stunt h...
Yet if you ask Barnes' brother [Jimmy Barnes] how [William Barnes] is feeling these days, the response brings to mind the lyrics to "High Hopes." Anytime he starts to feel low, instead of letting go, he thinks of the ant that defied expectations. But in lieu of moving rubber-tree plants, Barnes has to move a jury away from what prosecutors will try to sell as a cop killing in a city that's grown sick of them. In fact, the shift made it unnecessary for Barnes to follow through with a motion to appoint new counsel that he and a fellow inmate drafted in May. In it, Barnes alleged that his attorney of 19 months didn't follow through on requests to further investigate the cause of [Barclay]'s death, obtain his medical records prior to 2002 and provide prosecutors with a "defense medical repo...

English, a social worker, filed an assault-and battery civil suit against [Flav]. A process server dropped the papers off with a doorman of their building. Flav never responded, later claiming he hadn't received the papers. A default judgement of $850,000 was issued against him in 1997 for civil assault and battery - $350,000 in compensatory damages and $500,000 in punitive damages. With interest accumulating over 10 years, lawyers for English say the amount has risen to $1.8 million. Flav's lawyer estimates the sum to be $1.4 million.
